The city of Phoenix has voted in favor 7-2 to move forward in the building of a Fry’s grocery store in the downtown area. The two who voted against it were Councilmen Jim Waring and Sal DiCiccio, who were concerned about property-tax breaks.

“This is a site right in the heart of our city,” Stanton said following the vote approval. “An empty lot that is currently generating no economic activity for the City of Phoenix. Once the project is completed, it’s going to generate a significant amount of economic activity.”
